Bilateral Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement

NewCastle, Inc. has a very long history and commitment to educating, promoting, and supporting Intellectual Property (IP) protection, and has extensive IP policies and procedures. As part of these policies and procedures, NewCastle uses a bilateral approach to non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements developed and in use for more than a quarter century. This approach facilitates a more open exchange of information, while still maintaining clear delineations and definitions of confidential information.

All NewCastle team members work under this system, including our Alliances, Advisory Board, Boards of Directors, and Contractors, since the early 80s, totaling in excess of 1,000 signatories; and all of our Clients, totaling in excess of 5,000 signatories.

Please email for the latest version of the NewCastle Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement.

Please send two completed and signed copies of the NewCastle Bilateral Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement to our mailing address, and we will return one signed copy.

Please Note: NewCastle normally does not consider any other non-disclosure or similar agreements. Parties wishing to have NewCastle consider any other non-disclosure or similar agreement, or to have NewCastle consider modifying the NewCastle Bilateral Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement, will be required to pay the charges for the necessary legal services. NewCastle also reserves the right to reject any such requests, and typically always does so, as the costs, overhead, and very long turnaround time necessary are overly onerous, especially considering the coordination of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of signatories.

NewCastle accepts neither responsibility for keeping any part of an unsolicited proposal confidential, nor obligation to return unsolicited proposals to the applicant. All materials, confidential or otherwise, submitted to NewCastle by a prospect or a client will be retained or destroyed at NewCastle's discretion, and will not be returned to the prospect or the client unless prior arrangements are made by the prospect or client, including expenses for returning such materials.
